Gore was famous for his constant hypocrisy of his massive mansion, his jetting all over spreading the pseudo-scientific religion of global warming, his sale of his station to a terrorist media outlet based in a country that is primarily known for being a producer of GW no-no’s. But you can never tell a Gorite that, the true believers follow blindly in spite of the facts.

George and Laura made 5 trips to Africa, all requiring the same level of security and entourage. Obama make his second trip (the first one lasted a grand total of 22 hours) and the cons throw a hissy fit. Just curious if Lisa Benson would throw the same tantrum if he went to Europe. Oh, I forgot it’s Lisa;she would call for impeachment if Obama took 45 minutes for lunch.

Stay home and work with Congress, should he? I note that one of the few international life-saving acts of Bush the Lesser’s Administration involved trips to Africa. I shall hope for similar results here. Funny, however, the way some folks catalogue results in money one time and not another…

“Global warming is a hoax because Gore is fat and has a large house.” That is not an argument, and it’s rather precious for climate change deniers to use the term “in spite of the facts.” The facts are no longer in dispute, except among the flat earth caucus.

You forgot a word. “Global warming denial is a mix of religion and scam by political hacks.” There are no climate scientists left who deny that global warming is happening, is seriously destructive, and is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.

China is becoming heavily invested in Africa. There is a fear on both sides of the aisle that China may make agreements with African nations that will leave the USA without access to natural resources in those nations. It is my understanding that, unlike previous administrations that visited Africa, Mr. Obama will NOT be going on safari, precisely in order to reduce the cost of his visit. If his visit opens the door for one of our mining companies, oil companies, or other producers, it will pay for itself over time. However, he is competing against our own money since China makes so much of what we buy in the USA. It does make it difficult to buy into the game when you’ve given away your money to the competition. And it’s not the Presidents who make us shop for products made in China, Taiwan, India, Vietnam, etc. We’re building China’s military and political power with every shirt and toaster we buy.Respectfully,C.

Why is he going again? Why is he spending millions of our tax dollars on this trip? Why is he taking mom-in-law and a niece along for the ride? What is the total carbon footprint of the trip? How does this promote conservation?

Has the WH with all it’s electronic gadgets not discovered Skype yet? Corporations have used teleconference for years and get along just fine.

I thought we were in a financial crisis what with the sequester and all.

And just think how much those millions would do to help the people in Colorado and Oklahoma.

But YOU must allow the Emperor his every wish and fancy…….Public Servant my ass

“Why is he going again? Why is he spending millions of our tax dollars on this trip?”

He’s going because for the last 12 years, while we’ve been squandering a trillion+ dollars trying to ‘pacify’ the Middle East, the Chinese have been in Africa buying strategic mineral rights, and mines, and the towns, roads and infrastructure serving them, and the port facilities, and the authorities managing them. So that they can monopolize the strategic minerals of the continent – cobalt, nickel, uranium, aluminum, gold, platinum, coltran, petroleum, etc.

And so oblige the next generation of Americans to pay top dollar for raw materials, and then top dollar for finished products.
